5. Define the objectives.
It can be very frustrating for students to
complete an assignment or even to behave in class if there aren’t
clearly defined objectives.
At the beginning of the class, lay out clear
objectives and expectations from students so that there is no
confusion and students have goals to work towards.

6. . Create a threat-free environment
When teachers create a safe,
supportive environment for students, students are much more
likely to get and stay motivated to do their work. At the end of
the day, students will fulfill the expectations.

7. Change your scenery.
A classroom is a
great place for learning, but sitting
at a desk day in and day out can
make college start to seem a bit
dull for students.

8. Offer varied experiences.
Not all students will
respond to lessons in the same
way. For some, hands-on
experiences may be the best.
Others may
love to read books quietly or to
work in groups.
In order to keep
all students motivated, mix up
your lessons so that students
stay engaged and pay attention.

9. Use positive competition.
Competition in the classroom isn’t always
a bad thing, and in some cases can motivate students to try
harder and work to excel. Work to foster a friendly spirit of
competition in your classroom, opportunities for students to show
off their knowledge.

10. Offer rewards.
Everyone likes getting rewards, and offering
your students the chance to earn them is an excellent source of
motivation.
Even sticker on a paper can make students work
harder and really aim to achieve. Consider the personalities and
needs of your students to determine appropriate rewards for
your class.

11. Give students responsibility.
Assigning students classroom jobs
is a great way to build a community and to give students a sense
of motivation. Most students will see classroom jobs as a
privilege rather than a burden and will work hard. It can also be
useful to allow students to take turns leading activities or helping
out so that each feels important and valued.

12. Allow students to work together.
The social interaction can get
them excited about things in the classroom and students can
motivate one another to reach a goal. Teachers need to ensure
.that groups are balanced and fair

13. Give praise when earned.
There is no other form of motivation that works quite as well as
encouragement. Even as adults we crave recognition and
praise, and students at any age are no exception. Teachers can
give students a bounty of motivation by rewarding success
publicly, giving praise for a job well done, and sharing exemplary
work.

14. . Encourage self-reflection
.
All the students want to succeed, they just need help figuring
out what they need to do in order to get there. One way to
motivate your students is to get them to take a hard look at
themselves and determine their own strengths and
weaknesses. Students are often much more motivated by
creating these kinds of critiques of themselves .

15. Be excited.
One of the best ways to get your students
motivated is to share your enthusiasm. When you’re excited
about teaching, they’ll be much more excited about learning.

16. . Know your students.
Getting to know your students is about more
than just memorizing their names. They need to know that their
teacher has a genuine interest in their success. When students
feel appreciated it creates a safe learning environment and
motivates them to work harder.

17. Harness student interests.
Knowing your students also has
some other benefits, namely that it allows you to relate
classroom material to things that students are interested in or
have experienced. Teachers can use these interests to make
things more interesting and relatable to students, keeping
students motivated for longer.

18. . Help students find intrinsic motivation.
It can be great to help students get motivated, but at the end of
the day they need to be able to generate their own motivation.
Helping students find their own personal reasons for doing class
work and working hard, whether because they find material
interesting, want to go to college, or just love to learn, is one of the
most powerful gifts you can give them.

19. Manage student anxiety.
Some students find the prospect of not doing well so
anxiety-inducing that it becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy.
For these students, teachers may find that they are most
motivated by learning that struggling with a subject isn’t
the end of the world. Offer support no matter what the end
result.

20. Make goals high but attainable.
If you’re not pushing your
students to do more than the bare minimum, most won’t seek to
push themselves on their own. Students like to be challenged and
will work to achieve high expectations so long as they believe
those goals to be within their reach, so don’t be afraid to push
students to get more out of them.

21. Give feedback and offer chances to improve.
Students who struggle with
class work can sometimes feel frustrated and get down on
themselves, draining motivation. In these situations it’s critical
that teachers help students to learn exactly where they went
wrong and how they can improve next time. Figuring out a
method to get where students want to be can also help them
to stay motivated to work hard.

22. Track progress.
It can be hard for students to see just how far
they’ve come, especially with subjects that are difficult for them.
Teachers can use this as a way to motivate
students, allowing them to see visually just how much they are
learning and improving as the year goes on.

23. . Make things fun.
Not all class work needs to be a game or a
good time, but students who see college as a place where they
can have fun will be more motivated to pay attention and do the
work.
Adding fun activities into your college day can help
students who struggle to stay engaged and make the classroom a
much more friendly place for all students.

24. Provide opportunities for success.
Students, even the best ones,
can become frustrated and demotivated when they feel like
they’re struggling or not getting the recognition that other
students are. Make sure that all students get a chance to play
to their strengths and feel included and valued. It can make a
world of difference in their motivation.
